After over a year of prevaricating over the funding of RDO’s the FA has recognized the need for these officers in London .

  

The two candidates were unanimously appointed after their interviews with Ed Stone (FA Regional Referee Manager), David Fowkes (LFA Chief Executive), Tony Sharples (LFA representative to The FA)  and Lockie Bramzell (Chairman of the LFA Referee’s Committee). 

  

These vitally important jobs will be challenging but the interview panel were confident that they had appointed the right people to meet the challenge.
